If they have a clue they will begin to plan for life after Dez Bryant. He's always been a moron and his career will end badly. We can't have this offense Dez dependant.

WR needs to be a top priority in the draft.

Every one of Dak's picks and almost picks were on balls thrown to Dez. The int should of been caught but it went right through his hands to the CB behind him. A total gift!

The 2nd int (pick 6), it is impossible to tell what route Dez was running on that play, it looks pretty obvious he was suppose to run an out route, but just turned around instead allowing the CB to cut in front of him.

2 other passes that could of been picked if Dez didnt play defense looked like stop routes were he ran very lazy routes and didn't try to push the defender up the field but Dak also forced it to him.

Either Williams and Butler are not getting open or Dak just isnt looking for them. I think it is the latter, because when Dez was out those 2 were making plays left and right.

It was just sloppy technique. On a slightly lower pass, he shouldn't be backhanding (pronating, or whatever the hell describes it) that ball.

It was the same route they scored on earlier in the game. It was a horrible decision to run that exact same play against a CB as good as Talib. Dez has been so ineffective in every other part of the field that when Dallas gets close to the endzone they feel obligated to force the ball to him. Otherwise, he's gonna get all pissy. Try getting some separation, Dez.

I think it's the play calling. You could see it last week when they were trying to force the ball to Dez at the goal line. 25 targets this season, 9 receptions. The team needs to start thinking about whether or not throwing to Dez regardless if he is open or not is the best route to go. You cannot rely solely on athleticism to win the battle. Sometimes you actually have to know how to play your position.
